Vehicle roof structure

Abstract

A vehicle roof structure which can regulate the quantity of lighting while ensuring appearance quality when viewed from the compartment. When a roll shade is arranged at a retreat position, incident light penetrates a glass roof thence penetrates a supporting member and a closing member exhibiting translucency and finally penetrates an opaque skin material exhibiting translucency. Since the opaque skin material covers a ceiling matrix on the inside of the compartment and closes the ceiling opening continuously from the inside of the compartment, if a roll shade is arranged at the light shielding position, the ceiling opening cannot be distinguished easily by a crewman when the crewman looks the vehicle roof side from the inside of the compartment and it is recognized as continuous interior.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a vehicle roof structure which may letting in light from an opening of a roof panel.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a vehicle roof, in order to adjust an amount of daylight from an opening to allow light to enter formed on a roof panel, a light shielding plate which may open and close the opening is arranged (for example, see Patent Document 1). In such a structure, for example, the opening to allow light to enter is formed so as to pierce a part of a head liner corresponding to a lower side of the roof, and a light transmitting plate is fitted into the opening so as to be fixed.[0003]In this conventional structure, however, due to a difference in appearance between the head liner and the light transmitting plate, a sense of unity viewed from the vehicle compartment is deteriorated even at the time of shielding light using the light shielding plate, and thus its appearance quality is deteriorated.[0004]Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent A...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014]As described above, the vehicle roof structure of claim 1 according to the present invention has an excellent effect such that an amount of daylight may be adjusted, generation of the looseness and the level difference on the portion of the skin material at the second opening on the inside of the vehicle compartment is suppressed, and the appearance quality viewed from the vehicle compartment may be secured.

[0015]The vehicle roof structure has an excellent effect such that the space may be saved and the disorder and shade of light shielding line caused by the looseness of the light shielding sheet (light shielding member) at the time of winding and pulling-out may be suppressed.

[0016]The vehicle roof structure has an excellent effect such that light may be let in from an upper side of skin material at night when the outside of the vehicle is dark.

[0017]The vehicle roof structure has an excellent effect such that the light may be let in from the skin material on the upper side at night during which the outside of the vehicle is dark and the position of the light shielding member may be understood.

Problems solved by technology

In this conventional structure, however, due to a difference in appearance between the head liner and the light transmitting plate, a sense of unity viewed from the vehicle compartment is deteriorated even at the time of shielding light using the light shielding plate, and thus its appearance quality is deteriorated.
